Something again for the ladies

It may strike you as objectionable that most blogs nowadays link to only YouTube videos, rather than simply providing the thoughtful discourse they are otherwise known for.

Indeed, like a TV at the dinner table, our social skills are being stunted by a continuous audiovisual bombardment. What have our blogs come to, that we no longer list what we ate for breakfast, whether our current moods are "sad," "thoughtful," or "hungry"? Our families have disowned us and our pets hate us. God, Allah, Vishnu, and Shenlong have abandoned us in disgust. We do not even have the self-respect to kill ourselves.

There is nothing left to do except play our fiddles and hedonistically engorge ourselves with the cloying fruits of our well-stocked pantries while Rome burns.
